THE WILSONS' PARTY
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson invited all their friends and neighbours to a party last night. They
stayed home all day yesterday and prepared for the party.
In the morning the Wilson’s worked outside. Their daughter, Margaret, cleaned the
yard. Their son, Bob, painted the fence. Mrs. Wilson planted flowers in the garden,
and Mr. Wilson fixed their broken front steps.
In the afternoon the Wilson’s worked inside the house. Margaret washed the floors
and vacuumed the living room carpet. Bob dusted the furniture and cleaned the
basement. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson stayed in the kitchen all afternoon. He cooked
spaghetti for dinner, and she baked apple pies for dessert.
The Wilson’s finished all their work at six o'clock. Their house looked beautiful inside
and out!
The Wilson’s' guests arrived at about 7:30. After they arrived, they all sat in the living
room. They ate cheese and crackers, drank lemonade, and talked. Some people
talked about their children. Other people talked about the weather. And everyboy talked
about how beautiful the Wilson’s' house looked inside and out!
The Wilson’s served dinner in the dining room at 9:00. Everybody enjoyed the meal
very much. They liked Mr. Wilson's spaghetti and they "loved" Mrs. Wilson's apple pie.
In fact, everybody asked for seconds.
After dinner everybody sat in the living room again. First, Bob Wilson played the piano
and his sister, Margaret, sang. Then, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson showed a video of their trip
to Hawaii. After that, they turned on the music and everybody danced.
As you can see, the Wilson’s' guests enjoyed the party very much. In fact, nobody
wanted to go home!
